Spoon and Stable — Minneapolis, MN
⭐ 4.7 / 5 (3,060 reviews) · 211 N 1st St, Minneapolis, MN 55401
Tucked into the atmospheric North Loop neighborhood, Spoon and Stable occupies a beautifully restored former stable, where exposed brick, warm wood, and an open kitchen create a setting that feels both intimate and alive. The moment you step inside, the hum of genuine hospitality washes over you — this is a place where a special evening feels completely effortless, and where the setting does as much emotional work as the food itself.
For couples, there’s something deeply reassuring about a restaurant this accomplished. Chef Gavin Kaysen’s French-influenced American cooking delivers plates that invite conversation, slow appreciation, and the occasional stolen bite from across the table. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or simply carving out time for each other, the gracious pacing and attentive service make every visit feel like an occasion worth remembering.
